More quotes by Leo Tolstoy
All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.
Leo Tolstoy
I can’t think of you and myself apart. You and I are the same to me
Leo Tolstoy
What time can be more beautiful when the one in which the finest virtues, innocent cheerfulness and indefinable longing for love constitute the sole motives of your life.
Leo Tolstoy
If he be really and seriously seeking to live a good life, the first thing from which he will abstain will always be the use of animal food, because ...its use is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act which is contrary to the moral feeling - killing.
Leo Tolstoy
It is horrible! It is not the suffering and the death of the animals that is horrible, but the fact that the man without any need for so doing crushes his lofty feeling of sympathy and mercy for living creatures and does violence to himself that he may be cruel. The first element of moral life is abstinence.
Leo Tolstoy
We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Just as one candle lights another and can light thousands of other candles, so one heart illuminates another heart and can illuminate thousands of other hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
When ignorance does not know something, it says that what it does not know is stupid.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
Some mathematician said that pleasure lies not in discovering the truth but in searching for it.
Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy
We love people not so much for the good they've done us, as for the good we've done them.
Leo Tolstoy
I was now prepared to accept any faith so long as it did not demand a direct denial of reason, which would have been a deceit.
Leo Tolstoy
It's hard to love a woman and do anything.
Leo Tolstoy
Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre
Leo Tolstoy
He knew she was there by the joy and terror that took possession of his heart [...] Everything was lit up by her. She was the smile that brightened everything around.
Leo Tolstoy
I'll tell you truly: I value my thought and work terribly, but in essence - think about it - this whole world of ours is just a bit of mildew that grew over a tiny planet. And we think we can have something great - thoughts, deeds! They're all grains of sand
Leo Tolstoy
Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
Leo Tolstoy
